The Product
Coat fi rst – Fabricate later
Traditionally, the solid aluminium panels used for cladding applications are done using the “post painted solution”- which means that a mill fi nish aluminium sheet is fabricated fi rst and then it undergoes a batch coating process either through spray or powder coating.
Some of the common issues which are seen with these batch coating processes are:• The coating is done under less controlled environment as opposed to a highly industrial coil
coating process which leads to inconsistent thickness of the paint layer across the surfaceresulting in color inconsistencies on the panels.
• Due to higher thickness of paint on the surface when powder coated, the panels do not qualifyas non-combustible panels and are classifi ed as A2, as per EN 13501-1 test standard asopposed to A1, which most people assume for solid sheet in general.
• There are limitations on the variety of surface fi nishes that you can achieve with this process,thereby limiting designers to choose from a very few range of colors and fi nishes.
• Since there are 2-3 different parties involved in getting the fi nal product ready, there is a splitresponsibility on the quality of the fi nal product.
3A Composites, manufacturers of ALUCOBOND® and ALUCORE®, now offers coil-coated solidaluminium panels – ALUCOLUX® (2 coat/3 coat multi-bake system).
ALUCOLUX® provides a solution to all the problems that come from batch coated panels.
• Color consistency:■ High quality PVDF/FEVE coating on a continuous coil-coating line which provides
consistency of coating across the surface.■ Coating process conforms to AAMA 2605 and ECCA guidelines.
• A non-combustible panel classifi ed as A1, as per EN 13501-1.• ALUCOLUX® comes in all the surface fi nishes you have seen and used from ALUCOBOND®,
giving you a large variety of surface fi nishes to choose from.• Perfect fl atness on the facade:
■ ALUCOLUX® comes in 5xxx or 3xxx series alloy.■ As with ALUCOBOND®, and as part of our value added service offering, fabrication of
panels can be done in-house at our manufacturing plants. This would ensures highquality of fabrication and accessories used, thereby no compromise on aesthetics andat the same time eliminating any chances of errors.
• Shapes and curves: with ALUCOLUX®’s value added services you can achieve designs you didnot think were possible.
• Technical support: with ALUCOLUX® you will get support from our ALUCOBOND® team inrecommending and designing of appropriate fi xing systems or any other assistance required.
• Warranty: ALUCOLUX® comes with a 15 year warranty, directly from the makers ofALUCOBOND®.

MADE TO MEASURE (M2M) & READY TO INSTALL (R2I)• M2M panels which comes in fl at panel form can be folded and fi xed on site.
• R2I panels which comes in a folded cassette form already fi xed with accessoriesand can go directly to the job site to be installed.
• Both M2M and R2I options are available in perforated and non-perforated panels.
• 3D, Curved, or folded panels can be made based on customer’s designrequirements.
Below are some examples of how ALUCOLUX® can be fabricated at our plant,thereby providing savings on wastages and reducing the overall cost for the project.

ALUCOLUX®
PROCESSING GUIDELINESAT A GLANCE
Below are the general guidelines on processing – ALUCOLUX® pre-coil coated Solid Aluminium panels.
To cut ALUCOLUX® sheets to required size, the following machinery are recommended:
Sawing/Cutting
Cutting/Shearing MachineVertical Panel Saw CNC Machine
Below are the general guidelines on processing – pre-coil coated Solid Aluminium panels.
Routing/Grooving using CNC:Recommended rotation speed of the blades at 12000-15000 rpm and the depth of the groove to kept in the range of 1.5-2.3mm in a 3mm thick panel with a fl at end face of 2mm.
Feed speed to be maintained at 8 meters/min.
<<< >>>15 16
Routing/Grooving usingPanel Saw:Carbide tipped circular saw blades, trapezoid/fl at tooth with a speed of 2500 rpm.
Flat teeth 45o chamfered for burr-free edges
Saw blade – 300mm for Striebig saw, type Standard II
Notching/Punching:ALUCOLUX® panels can be notched/punched using conventional sheet metal punching machines.For clean cuts, use sharp tools and dies with minimal cutting clearance (0.1mm).
Drilling:To drill into the ALUCOLUX® panels, it is recommended to use Extreme 2TM HSS-G Metal drill bit.
Folding:ALUCOLUX® panels need to be folded by machine (brake press) to a radius of 3mm-5mm (after routing/v groove) to form tray panels or any other shape. V grooves are routed on the rear of the ALUCOLUX®
panels using CNC routers or Panel saw machines and then folded on the brake press/folding machines.
<<< >>>17 18
Stiffeners:Stiffeners are fi xed to the back of the panel based on the size of each panels and wind load calculation of the project site. The span between each stiffeners needs to be maintained at 600mm. The stiffeners can be Stud Welded or stuck using VHB tapes at the back of the panel. In case it is stud-welded then it should be done using the right stud-welding tool.
Recommended depth of the welding: Between 1.35mm-1.5mm on a 3mm ALUCOLUX® panel.
Rolling/Bending:Bending of ALUCOLUX® panels can be done either by using a roll bending machine-mainly with three or four-roll machines. The panel to be bent is clamped between two cheeks. The projecting edge is bent around the upper clamping cheek or former using the movable swivel bar. The bending radius is determined by interchangeable formers attached to the upper clamping cheek.
Minimum bending radius: r=25Xt (t: panel thickness)
Perforation:Can be done using either CNC, NCT (punching machine) or using laser cutting machine in various design and patterns as required.
Cleaning and Maintenance:Annual cleaning is recommended. The surfaces should be cleaned either manually using a soft brush or by means of high-pressure cleaner (maximum 50 bar) with clean water. If necessary, a mild cleaning agent (pH 6-7) may be added, up to maximum 10%. Cleaning should take place from top to bottom. After cleaning, rinse with water to remove any cleaning agent residue.
Do not clean surfaces heated by the sun (>40o C).
Do not use high alkaline cleaning agents such as potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, caustic soda, any strong acid products, or highly abrasive cleaning agents such as household cleaning products that corrodes paint.

FAQ‘s
Q. Can we fabricate ALUCOLUX® despite it being already pre-coil coated?A. Yes you can. Kindly refer to our fabrication manual or contact our representative for
more information or assistance.
Q. Would the paint crack on the folded edges?A. With ALUCOLUX® you do not have to worry about cracks on the edges at all
because we use the highest grade of PVDF or FEVE paint on our own continuescoilcoating line.
Q. Is there a need to weld the edges of cassette/tray panels?A. There is no need to weld ALUCOLUX® panels. We can provide technical
support on how to route and fold these panels or provide semi-fabricated (M2M) panels or fully-fabricated (R2I) panels from our plant.
Q. How deep should the routing be done to fold the panel and retain strength?A. On a 3mm panel the routing should be ideally between 1.5mm to 2.3mm.
On a 2mm panel the routing should be ideally between 1mm to 1.3mm.See our processing guide for more details.
Q. Is there any Warranty?A. Yes. ALUCOLUX® comes with a 15 years products and surface warranty from the
makers of ALUCOBOND®.
Storage and Transportation:To protect ALUCOLUX® panels against mechanical damages and harmful effects of weather conditions the following should be observed:
- The pallets must be handled carefully during transport and unloading.- Upon delivery the pallets must be examined for any damages due to transportation.- Store the pallets stacked one over the other (do not store ALUCOLUX® panels standing vertically) with a maximum of 3 pallets of the same format stacked on top of each other (heavy pallets at the bottom).
Installation:Use panels from a single production batch. Special care needs to be taken for all metallic colors and high gloss fi nishes and must be installed in the same coating direction.
Direction instructions are printed on the protective fi lm on the panels.
